About the role:
The NSW Government announced in June 2018 that the AM will receive $50 million to expand its touring exhibition halls in the first phase of the AM’s Master Plan. The new exhibition halls will open in early 2021 with the blockbuster exhibition, Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh. As well as the transformed exhibition spaces, the refurbishment will also create new education facilities, space for a new museum shop and café and other amenities. A multi-million capital campaign will support these Phase 1 refurbishments and it is anticipated a future capital campaign will require significant philanthropic funding to support the second phase of the AM’s Master Plan.
The Capital Campaign Manager secures financial support for the capital campaign from private sources including individual donors, Trusts & Foundations, corporate partnerships and government grants. The role works closely with the Capital Campaign Committee, the AM’s Executive Leadership Team and the Master Plan project team to secure private funding for the capital campaign. The role manages the day-to-day operations of the Capital Campaign team and works collaboratively with the Development and Partnerships teams to secure and steward donors and supporters of the AM.
Essential Requirements:
• Proven success in raising significant funds from private sources, ideally for a capital campaign.
• Comprehensive senior experience in managing donor and supporter relationships
• Adequate knowledge and experience in order to deliver the Key Accountabilities and perform to the Focus Capabilities outlined in the Role Description.
